Gran Coramino Anejo 750ML

Gran Coramino Anejo 750ML is a 100% Blue Weber agave aejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle. What distinguishes this expression from most aejos is its triple-cask approach aged in American oak and French oak barrels, then blended with aejo matured in ex-cognac casks, producing uncommon depth for the category.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40% | Origin: Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico | Aejo | Distillery: La Rojea (NOM 1104)

Production & Heritage

Gran Coramino is produced at La Rojea Distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco one of the oldest operating distilleries in Latin America, owned by Casa Cuervo. The Blue Weber agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens before being double-distilled in copper pot stills, a process that preserves cooked agave character while refining the spirit’s texture. The aejo then undergoes its defining step: aging across American and French oak barrels, with a portion of the blend maturing separately in ex-cognac casks. This multi-cask strategy layers flavors that a single barrel type cannot achieve on its own, setting it apart from most standard aejo releases in the Gran Coramino range and the broader market.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Roasted agave arrives first, followed by vanilla bean and toasted oak. Deeper inhalation reveals hints of dark chocolate and a faint honeyed sweetness that reflects the cognac-cask influence.

Taste: The entry is rich with caramel and cooked agave, immediately establishing weight on the palate. At mid-palate, dried fruit and baking spice emerge alongside toffee and butterscotch. The peak brings cacao, cinnamon, and a subtle mineral quality that keeps the sweetness in check.

Finish: Warm and smooth with lingering oak, coffee, and a gentle honeyed sweetness. The finish is medium-long, with the French and cognac oak imparting an elegant, slightly tannic fade.

How to Drink Gran Coramino Aejo

Sip it neat at room temperature to appreciate the full effect of the triple-cask aging. A single ice cube or a few drops of water can open up the darker chocolate and coffee notes without diluting the core agave character.

For cocktails, the aejo’s caramel depth and oak structure work well in a Tequila Old Fashioned, where its toffee and baking spice replace bourbon’s typical grain sweetness. It also shines in an Aejo Manhattan, as the cognac-cask influence harmonizes with sweet vermouth’s herbal richness. A Dark Margarita built with fresh lime, agave nectar, and a splash of orange liqueur lets the roasted agave and dried fruit notes drive a more complex, spirit-forward variation.
